Psalm 33:12-2212 Come forward, sons. Listen to me. I will teach you the fear of the Lord.13 Which is the man who wills life, who chooses to see good days?14 Prohibit your tongue from evil and your lips from speaking deceit.15 Turn away from evil, and do good. Inquire about peace, and pursue it.16 The eyes of the Lord are on the just, and his ears are with their prayers.17 But the countenance of the Lord is upon those who do evil, to perish the remembrance of them from the earth.18 The just cried out, and the Lord heard them, and he freed them from all their tribulations.19 The Lord is near to those who are troubled in heart, and he will save the humble in spirit.20 Many are the afflictions of the just, but from them all the Lord will free them.21 The Lord preserves all of their bones, not one of them shall be broken.22 The death of a sinner is very harmful, and those who hate the just will fare badly.Genesis 12:1-91 Then the Lord said to Abram: "Depart from your land, and from your kindred, and from your father's house, and come into the land that I will show you.2 And I will make of you a great nation, and I will bless you and magnify your name, and you will be blessed.3 I will bless those who bless you, and curse those who curse you, and in you all the families of the earth will be blessed."4 And so Abram departed just as the Lord had instructed him, and Lot went with him. Abram was seventy-five years old when he departed from Haran.5 And he took his wife Sarai, and Lot, the son of his brother, and all the substance which they had come to possess, and the lives which they had acquired in Haran, and they departed in order to go to the land of Canaan. And when they arrived in it,6 Abram passed through the land even to the place of Shechem, as far as the famous steep valley. Now at that time, the Canaanite was in the land.7 Then the Lord appeared to Abram, and he said to him, "To your offspring, I will give this land." And there he built an altar to the Lord, who had appeared to him.8 And passing on from there to a mountain, which was opposite the east of Bethel, he pitched his tent there, having Bethel to the west, and Hai on the east. He also built an altar there to the Lord, and he called upon his name.9 And Abram traveled, going out and continuing further on, toward the south.
